6. Can I sell celebrity pictures that are not mine?

Yes you can, but ONLY if you have the permission of the photographer. Please ask the author firstly for permission to sell the celebrity photos on his/her behalf. Pictures copied from the internet, whose origination is unknown, are not permitted.

7. How does the automatic bidding system work?

Our automatic bidding system makes bidding convenient so you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time someone places another bid.

How automatic bidding works:

1. When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the picture. The seller and other bidders don't know your maximum bid.

2. We'll place bids on your behalf using the automatic bid increment amount, which is based on the current highest bid. We'll bid only as much as necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, up to your maximum amount.

3. If another bidder places a higher maximum bid, we'll notify you so you can place another bid. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.

Example

The current bid for an photo is US$ 200.00. Photo-agency "Alpha" is the highest bidder, and has placed a maximum bid of US$ 350.00 on the picture. This maximum bid is kept confidential from other members.

Photo-agency "Beta" views the image and places a maximum bid of US$ 400.00. Beta becomes the highest bidder.

Alpha's bid is incremented to it`s maximum of $350.00. Beta's bid is now US$ 350.00 and Beta is the auction leader.

We send Alpha an email that she has been outbid. If Alpha doesn't raise the maximum bid, Beta wins the photo.

8. How long does the auction last?

In order to meet the dynamics of the celebrity pictures industry, every auction ends automatically 24 hours after the first bid or immediately in case of a buy-now auction.

9. How do I pay for a purchased paparazzi picture?

After you have won an auction, you are obliged to pay the achieved auction price, respectively the buy-now price within 24 hours via PayPal. After you settle the payment your photo will be released for download on your goPaparazzo.com account.

10. How do I get paid for a sold celebrity photo?

After your photo was sold (successful auction end) and after the buyer has settled his payment, goPaparazzo.com will forward you the sales price less 16% administration and PayPall fees within 30 days to your PayPal account.
